Is There Any Home Remedy To Remove A Scar Caused By Itching?
I had a case of scabies once a long time ago and I ended up scratching my face because of the itchiness. Doing that left a circle like looking scar on my forehead. I tried to make it so it was less visible but nothing I tried has worked. Is there anything that can help? even some type of surgery? a home remedy product?

hi..you got scar on your face..1st thing to know is if it is normal scar or hypertrophic scar..if hypertrophic scar then the treatment options that i recommend are....1) silicon gel massage
2) steroid injection in scar
3) excision(removal) of the scar with post operative silicon gel therapy and pressure massage
if its normal scar then silicon gel massage and if not work the surgery which depends on the line of scar...hope you get the answer..thanks
